“Aiken made a quick and sincere apology for the error,”

Just to clarify the discussion, can you tell me again, WHY Akin had to apologize?

Just to clarify the discussion could you explain why you supposed “conservatives” are spending all your time here shooting your own side in the back day in and day out instead of doing something useful to defeat O and his progressive fascist followers?

The "apology" was for the mention of a perceived medical condition where there is some kind of physical mechanism possessed by women which would prevent pregnancy during extreme trauma like a violent rape.

There came forth several "experts" who said that this is not something that happens, and as proof, a lot of women get pregnant via rape.

I personally think that Aiken's statement about "legitimate" rape could be at the bottom of the controversy. Many cries of "rape" are not that. They start out on a consensual basis, but sometime during, or after the encounter, something changes, and the encounter suddenly becomes "rape"...if you know what I mean. Something like this would naturally cause considerable consternation among a lot of people, and especially, "progressive women"
